AACD Member and educator Rhonda Mullins was recently published in The Progressive Dentist magazine. Her article, "Embracing and Incorporating Care-Driven Dentistry," addresses dental practices' shift to treating patients with a proactive, care-driven approach, from exclusively treating a patient's physical, social, and psychological elements.

According to the article, "In recent years, research has indicated a link between oral health and overall health. Until this connection, oral health was considered independent of other health conditions, and dentistry focused mainly on oral maintenance and tooth repair."
